*The courses are generally upper-level and require junior status for admission. All courses are conducted in English. Examinations are held after each course and at the end of the term the student receives a cumulative grade for the program in addition to the individual grades for each course.

HOUSING:
All exchange students are guaranteed accommodation on the condition that the accommodation section of the online exchange application is completed prior to the relevant deadline.
Rooms and apartments are distributed on a first-come, first-served basis. This means that those students who submit their complete applications early will be placed first.

On request from both Swedish and international students, we strive to mix students as much as possible. This means nationality, gender and age are taken into consideration when distributing rooms.
